I may have already asked this: do we have a plan to evaluate also hyperkitty
(mailman 3 frontend) before completely replacing also the mailing lists? It
provides a forum-like interface.

Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for setting this up!
I've recently had the opportunity to experience Discourse in action in
another community, and found it to fulfill most of the things we found
lacking in both of our current forum and mailing list software (which
makes sense given that they're both age-old and haven't seen much - if
any - exciting feature development in years).
So I (personally, not speaking for the board) would really like us to
test it out and see if we can replace first our forum and hopefully some
day Mailman with Discourse.
Thanks,
Thomas



+1, I'm also quite in favor of this. Having used it in other 
communities, I find that it works well as a sort of 
half-forum-half-mailing-list tool that can succeed in replacing both.

Hi

Unfortunately this looks like it will result in similar problems with 
training as last year where many people couldn't attend things they were 
interested in

If people don't know well in advance (months) what training there will be 
and on what days, they can't plan their dates for travel & accommodation 
at Akademy
